Sacramento Perch Fishing At Lake Crowley!

[@chefscorner7063]

I lived in Mammoth Lakes back in the 80s and my brother was the original owner of Fat Alberts restaurant. We had many great trips fishing on Crowley and it's great to see the water nice and clear as we were having to deal with huge algae blooms the last couple years living there. Thanks for sharing your trip and reminding me of how beautiful the whole area is.

[@fishingaddict5638]

Thank you so much I appreciate you stopping by.

[@Fishing247-s2p]

Just found this video want give it a try next week with the family and kids just wondering if a mini van would be it out there or only truck ? Thx

[@fishingaddict5638]

You can get there with any vehicle and There is a nice marina there. You do need a boat to get to the perch spots. Good luck.

I love u guys,put like first,than start watching!!!!

[@fishingaddict5638]

Thank you so much I appreciate it.

[@Luckybasster]

Never seen that kind of fish before. Thanks for sharing

[@fishingaddict5638]

It’s something different. They’re only in a hand full of lakes. Thanks for stopping by.

[@ItsAllGoodFishing]

Nice fishing day you guys had a relaxing day it looks like good job

[@fishingaddict5638]

Thank you very much.

[@ronaldcolejr4132]

Need some more catch clean and cook. Great vid!

[@fishingaddict5638]

We’ve been taking about it but hard to find the time when we’re on the lake. Thank you.

[@4acesjackdaniels775]

Once you're out on the lake, how do you decide where to fish (especially with no electronics)? Did you just pull up near to where several other boats were fishing? Thanks for your help!

[@fishingaddict5638]

Yes, especially now. There should be a lot of boats and kayaks that would be the easiest way.

[@JUNationFishing]

😲😲😲Those are big perch! 👍🙏🎣⚒

[@fishingaddict5638]

There were some nice ones in the mix. Thanks JU.

[@mluc1111]

Is that the hybrid crappies , how does it taste?

[@fishingaddict5638]

They’re no hybrid. To me they taste like bluegills and crappies and is good.

[@alaws7635]

Love your videos as always

[@fishingaddict5638]

Glad you like them!

[@somsongcharoenpon168]

Awesome, I wonder why we don’t have them here in Texas.

[@fishingaddict5638]

I think they’re a high altitude lake fish. This lake is at roughly 7000 feet high. If there are bluegill around bluegills and other small fish will eat there eggs as the perch do not guard there eggs.

[@aProudOG]

A different outing for sure. Factoring in table fare considerations, would you do it again and if so how would you change your search pattern without the benefit of electronics? Any other new adventures on your “to do” list?

[@fishingaddict5638]

I think as the water gets warmer more of them will come into the shallows. I think we were a little early. So next trip would be searching the same areas. I’d like to rock fish next when weather permits.

[@fvang4751]

@@fishingaddict5638 We will be there next following weekend. Hopefully that's enough time for them to get warmed up. Surprise it is still cold... Hopefully the fish finder will help

[@SK_CrappieCatching]

Amazing how much like crappie those perch look..... Y'all did a arresting job getting on a good bite without electronics..... Did y'all rent that boat? The mountains back there make some beautiful scenery.....Stay At'um!

[@fishingaddict5638]

Yes we rented a basic aluminum boat. This is a high altitude lake at 7000 feet high. No electronics just meant a lot more searching. Appreciate you stopping by SK.

[@b1sunpeopleb165]

I would like to stock them in my pond, but they're rare. I've done extensive research on Sacramento Perch and they would do well in the south.

[@fishingaddict5638]

That sound fun. I think you also need to run the plans by “Dept of wildlife”.

[@kito1san]

Any good to eat?

[@fishingaddict5638]

Yes they’re good to eat.

[@tornsaephanh5088]

Nice videos,how are the taste?

[@fishingaddict5638]

I’d say they’re a little like bluegill and crappie. I think they’re good to eat myself. Thanks.

[@randylal1761]

Day da BEST IN FROSH WATER DIG IT?

[@hanomanekeothong4560]

Did you guys rent the boat there

[@fishingaddict5638]

Yes. It is a long drive for me so this time I decided to just rent a boat their. Downside is no electronics.

[@toonmeuanghane9835]

Nice catch. What is the regulations on those

[@fishingaddict5638]

I’m CA it’s in the panfish family so a total limit of 25.

[@toonmeuanghane9835]

Ok thanks

[@sunlengsuy8160]

Nice catch, limit?

[@fishingaddict5638]

I think we were short a little bit, so no limit. Thank you

[@reggiebrown6493]

That is a beautiful fish

[@fishingaddict5638]

Yes they are neat looking thanks.

[@Nigel_BC]

I live in their native range and I wish we could catch them here but they’re pretty much extinct in the wild. Hopefully, one day I can get some to put in my pond and maybe create an insurance colony for future reintroductions.

[@fishingaddict5638]

I’m sorry to hear that. Hope you’ll be able to catch one someday. Thank you for watching and your support.

[@countrylife9519]

very helpful video

[@fishingaddict5638]

Appreciate you stopping by.

[@denisiel1]

Hi, what size jighead? Also, are you jigging or just reeling in? Thanks!

[@fishingaddict5638]

1/16th oz. Just cast and reel.

[@robertd8224]

Love your video. Lots of action all the time🎣🐟👍. How deep do you let your jigs go down?

[@fishingaddict5638]

12 to 14 feet.

[@johnnygalaxy9022]

Man they get bigger than crappie thats for sure! But I heard they don't fight very well though.

[@fishingaddict5638]

They’re just like crappies. Once they’re hooked not much fight.

[@johnnygalaxy9022]

@@fishingaddict5638 I'd imagine though they make up for that in taste then? Lol

[@leeherr3556]

You two makes jeolous

[@fishingaddict5638]

No need to be. Anyone can go catch these fish. We rented a boat there as you saw. Thank you.

[@tonyspangler1201]

That's so cool

[@fishingaddict5638]

Thank you so much.

[@billthurman7508]

Where is the lake located?

[@fishingaddict5638]

In Mammoth Lakes CA.

[@sunlengsuy8160]

Why you not bring your boat today? They not allow

[@fishingaddict5638]

I had work in the area, so we just rented a boat. Besides it a 5 hour drive when towing.

[@MrFishermanbob]

Beautiful fish. As water gets less polluted hopefully these can be reintroduced to their native range and flourish again.

[@kito1san]

Did you you rent a boat there?

[@fishingaddict5638]

Yes, we rented the e boat at Lake Crowley marina.

[@toddthebod22]

Interesting. They look like crappie.

[@fishingaddict5638]

A little. But we fish for them just like crappies.

[@ReelRandyGrahamFishingShow]

Wow didn’t know Crappie had a cousin

[@fishingaddict5638]

Thank you so much for stopping by. I really appreciate it.

[@jonweaver2410]

looks similar to crappies. But I bet it taste better.

[@fishingaddict5638]

They taste cross between bluegills and crappies. But they do taste good.

[@jonweaver2410]

@@fishingaddict5638 Yeah....sent some this way to Portland, Oregon. We'll sent back Crappies from East of Oregon. Thanks.

[@dsgbqc]

How much did you pay for that straw hat?

[@fishingaddict5638]

$7 at Denios Flea-market.

[@Neji90]

Sacramento perch but they don’t exist in Sacramento lol

[@fishingaddict5638]

They existed way back in the day only, now it’s only a hand full of lakes only. Thanks for stopping by.
